Strelitzia reginae (Bird of paradise)

Wow meanie - have you grown the bird of paradise? I LOVE, love, love them!! :D x

Is it yours Meanie??? BE UT TI FUL...........

This is my seed grown one!
Just seven years to bloom!

Goodness Meanie, you are patient...but worth the wait...My Sprekelia has a flower....I'll put a pic on...:>)

I'll probably be waiting seven years for my Sprekelia to flower!! Well done Moti!

Meanie you deserve a medal for your patience , it's fabulous !!

I hadn't realised you could grow them from seed - its beautiful! Do you know how long they flower for?

:D

oh its out!!!! that is just superb!!!

it must have opened to say welcome to your new home!!

Outstanding Meanie, a thing of beauty...

Thanks all! I think that there is another bloom to come in the sheath too.

Pita - everything has to start somewhere!!!

Mmm - I get your point! Doh!!
For some strange reason I thought it would have come from a bulb - I'm an amateur gardener both indoors and out!

Still love it though! :D
